Al inicio del año de 1942, las comunidades de inmigrantes que vivían en diversos países del continente Americano empezaron a vivir días aciagos.

El gobierno norteamericano consideró a las comunidades de inmigrantes japoneses, que ya tenían más de 40 años de haber a…

The Japanese attack on the U.S. fleet in Hawaii on December 7, 1941 triggered war between the two countries.

These immigrant communities were already well integrated into the U.S. economy and …
